Unicorn Hat text scroller

After I wrote my Xmas Tree code for the Unicorn Hat I felt like I needed to also be able to display a festive message. Although it is quite narrow, I reckoned a text scrolling app would work quite well on the Unicorn Hat if I kept the character size slightly smaller than full-screen(grid?).

I decided to fix most characters to 6x4 pixels (with the exception of those fatties M and W) which allows for portions of 2 characters on the screen simultaneously.
